Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932
By Francine Prose
The scene is 1920’s Paris: a city of spellbinding ambition, love, art, and discovery. Places like the Chameleon Club serve as oases for the various expats, artists, and libertines that traverse the city. Among others who find refuge at the Chameleon Club is Lou Villars, a phenomenal athlete and cross-dressing lesbian. As the years pass, both the characters that inhibited this vagrant dwelling and the world around them transform-for better or worse.
Told from various perspectives, Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 pays homage to this vibrant city. Check it out in the Popular Collection, located in the Media Room.
